Preheat your panini press or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter evenly on one side of a slice of bread.
Spread 1 tablespoon of jam or jelly evenly on one side of the other slice of bread.
Carefully place the two slices together, with the peanut butter and jelly sides facing each other to form a sandwich.
Spread 1/2 tablespoon of softened butter on the outside of one slice of bread, and repeat for the other side.
Place the sandwich on the preheated panini press or skillet, buttered side down.
If using a panini press, close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. If using a skillet, press the sandwich gently with a spatula and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, flipping carefully.
Remove the panini from the heat and let it cool for 1 minute before slicing in half.
Serve warm and enjoy!
